B SPECIFIC CONDITIONS OF THE EUROPEAN TECHNICAL APPROVAL

B.1 DEFINITION OF PRODUCTS AND INTENDED USE

B.1.1 Definition of Products This European Technical Approval applies to a kit: DYWIDAG – External Strand Post-Tensioning System consisting of 3 to 37 strands. The DYWIDAG post-tensioning kit is designed for external prestressing. The prestressing tendon consists of a bundle of 7-wire strands, anchorages, deviators, sheathing and corrosion protective compounds.

- The strands are defined in the prEN 10138-3: ”Prestressing steels – Strand” as 0.6” ‘normal’ and ‘super’ strand, i.e. with Ø 15.3 and Ø 15.7 mm nominal diameter, with a nominal tensile strength of 1770 or 1860 N/mm², coded Y1770S7 15.3 (or 15.7) or Y1860S7 15.3 (or 15.7), respectively, referred to as the ‘tensile element’. As long as EN 10138 is not implemented 7-wire strands in accordance with national provisions shall be used.

- Stressing (active) anchorages and fixed (passive) anchorages consisting of

an anchor plate with connection tube, steel trumpet, plastic insert, gasket, retaining ring, spacer and wedge plate.

- Sheathings are made of plastic (polyethylene, HDPE).

- Deviators are specific elements at given locations in the structure along the

tendon. These are generally made of steel tubes (straight or prebent) placed inside the concrete structure or construction steel saddles applied to the structure.

- Bursting reinforcement (helix and stirrups), for the concrete confinement at

anchorages to ensure local prestressing force transfer into the concrete structure.

- The corrosion protecting compound can be a cement based grout (in

accordance with EN 447) for rigid injection or a flexible compound with a wax base (in accordance with Annex C.4.2 of ETAG 013).

Page 4 of ETA-09/0068 English translation by Sétra

Steel and plastic tubes, the ordinary reinforcement for bursting reinforcement, grouting products are covered by European or national provisions thus they are not described in this ETA. However, they can be used for the prestressing kit.

B.1.2 Intended use The DYWIDAG external strand post-tensioning system (in the following PT system) has been developed to be used for

• new structures • repair and strengthening of existing structures

exposed to effects from gravity and live loads, climate exposures, imposed sets of deformations. This PT system is meant for concrete structures/members with a tendon path situated outside their cross section but inside their envelope. It may also be employed in structures made of other materials, e.g. masonry, steel, cast iron, timber or combinations of several materials (see Annex 13). In case of use with other materials than concrete, dimensions and force transfer shall be designed according to the relevant Eurocodes or national regulations valid in place of use. The following optional use categories for the tendons are possible:

• restressable • exchangeable • encapsulated

B.1.3 Working life The provisions made in this European Technical Approval are based on an assumed working life of the PT system of 100 years. These provisions are based upon the current state of the art and the available knowledge and experience. The indications given on the working life cannot be interpreted as a guarantee given by the kit manufacturer or the Approval Body, but are to be regarded only as a means for choosing the right products in relation to the expected economically reasonable working life of the works. The relevant Eurocodes are the following: EN 1990 “Eurocode 0”: Basis of structural design EN 1991 “Eurocode 1”: Actions on structures EN 1992 “Eurocode 2”: Design of concrete structures EN 1993 “Eurocode 3”: Design of steel structures EN 1994 “Eurocode 4”: Design of composite steel and concrete structures EN 1995 “Eurocode 5”: Design of timber structures EN 1996 “Eurocode 6”: Design of masonry structures The PT system is supposed to be subject to appropriate use and maintenance (see Chapter 7 of ETAG 013).

B.2 Characteristics of product and methods of verification

B.2.1 Characteristics of product B.2.1.1 General The components correspond to the drawings and provisions given in this European Technical Approval including the Annexes. The characteristic material values, dimensions and tolerances of the components not indicated in the Annexes shall correspond to the respective values laid down in the technical documentation of this European Technical Approval. Arrangement of the tendons, the design of the anchorage zones, the anchorage components and the diameters of the sheathings shall correspond to the attached description and drawings; the dimensions and materials shall comply with the values given therein.

The first digit of the designation of components of anchorages (6) identifies the nominal strand diameter in tenfold of inches (0.6”/0.62”), the second digit is an internal code and the last two digits refer to the number of strands in the tendon (size of tendon). The components (except helix and additional reinforcement) fit for tendons with both strand strengths. B.2.1.2 Strands Only 7-wire strands shall be used in accordance with national provisions with the characteristics given in Annex 16. To avoid confusions only strands with one nominal diameter shall be used on one site. If the use of strands with Rm = 1860 MPa is intended on site, these shall only be used there. Only strands stranded in the same direction shall be used in a tendon. B.2.1.3 Wedges Wedges (see Annex 2) are approved with 30°-tooth or 45°-tooth. The segments of the wedges for strands ∅ 15.3 mm are 42 mm long and the segments of the wedges for strands ∅ 15.7 mm are 45 mm long. The wedge dimension does not depend from the strands’ strength. Wedges of one supplier only may be used at one construction site. B.2.1.4 Wedge plates The conical drills of the wedge plates (see Annexes 3-5) shall be clean, stainless and provided with a corrosion protection. B.2.1.5 Anchor plate with recess tube Circular anchor plate with recess tube welded watertight to it shall be used (see Annexes 3-5).

B.2.1.6 Steel trumpet with PE-insert As a part of the steel trumpet the tension ring is welded to the steel tube with the flange. The PE-insert is fixed to the tension ring through a gasket with a retaining ring and screws (see Annex 2). A piece of plastic sheathing with relevant diameter is mirror welded to the PE-insert. Its length is determined in order to protrude out from the concrete body around the anchorage zone. B.2.1.7 Bursting reinforcement (helixes and stirrups) The steel grades and dimensions of the helixes and of the stirrups shall comply with the values given in the relevant Annexes 6-11. The central position in the structural concrete member on site shall be ensured according to section B.4.2.3. The outer end of the helix shall be welded to the anchor plate. This is not necessary if the final turn is welded to form a closed ring. B.2.1.8 Sheathings, tubes Sheathings made of polyethylene shall comply with EN 12201 and ETAG 013. The dimensions of the sheathings shall comply with values given in Annex 2. The connections and seals between the sections of sheathing are effected either with mirror welding or electro-welding couplers. The recess tubes and steel tubes (respectively welded to anchor plate and flange, see Annexes 3-5) are manufactured from at least 3.2 mm thick steel sheath material (see Annex 15). B.2.1.9 Grout Grout according to EN 447:1996 shall be used. B.2.1.10 Wax Wax as defined in Annex C.4.2 of ETAG 013 or according to national regulations valid in place of use shall be used. B.2.1.11 Protective caps Protective caps serve as closing the anchorage to enable grouting/injection and its protection, see Annex 12. The caps are made of steel. Regularly they cover the wedge plate and are left in place after injection. Elongated caps may be used for sufficient strand over-length for later prestressing force adjustment or detensioning.

B.2.2 Methods of verification B.2.2.1 General This European Technical Approval for the "DYWIDAG external strand post-tensioning system" is issued on the basis of agreed data, deposited at Sétra, which identifies the "DYWIDAG external strand post-tensioning system" that has been assessed and judged. Assessment of the fitness of the "DYWIDAG external strand post-tensioning system" for the intended use in relation to the requirements for mechanical resistance and stability in the sense of Essential Requirements 1 and for ER3 (hygiene, health and environment) has been made in accordance with the ETAG 013, Guideline for European Technical Approval of post-tensioning kits for prestressing of structures, based on the provisions for all systems. The release of dangerous substances (Essential Requirement 3) is determined according to ETAG 013, clause 5.3.1. A declaration was made by the kit manufacturer that the product does not contain any dangerous substances. In addition to the specific clauses relating to dangerous substances contained in the ETA, there may be other requirements, applicable to the products falling within its scope (e.g. transposed European legislation and national laws, regulations and administrative provisions). In conformity with the provisions of the European directive 89/106/EEC, these requirements must also be complied with wherever they apply. The structural members (made of normal-weight concrete) prestressed by means of the DYWIDAG-External Strand Post-Tensioning System used to be designed in accordance with national regulations. B.2.2.2 Tendons The maximum prestressing and over-tensioning force to be applied on the tendon is specified in the national standards and regulations in force in the place of use. The maximum force P0, max defined according to EN 1992-1-1 paragraph 5.10.2 (with recommended values for k1 and k2), and according to prEN 10138, shall not exceed the values laid down in Table 1 (140 mm²) or in Table 2 (150 mm²). Maximum prestressing force P0, max = min (0.8 Fpk ; 0.9 Fp0.1k) where Fpk = Ap fpk is the characteristic tensile force of tensile elements of tendons and Fp0.1k = Ap fp0.1k the characteristic tensile yield force of tensile elements of tendon (0.1 % proof load). The initial prestressing force Pm0 immediately after tensioning and anchoring shall not exceed the values laid down in Table 1 (140 mm²) or in Table 2 (150 mm²), see also Annex 1. Initial prestressing force Pm0 = min (0.75 Fpk ; 0.85 Fp0.1k)

The number of strands in a tendon may be reduced by leaving out strands lying radial-symmetrically in the wedge plate. The provisions for tendons with completely filled wedge plates (basic types) also apply to tendons with only partly filled wedge plates. Into the cones not filled short pieces of strands with wedges have to be pressed to assure a sufficient bending stiffness of the wedge plate. Obviously for such tendons wedge plates machined without the not needed conical borings can be applied, too. The prestressing force is reduced per strand left out as shown in Table 3. Table 3: Reduction of the prestressing force when leaving out one strand

B.2.2.3 Losses of the prestressing force due to friction At calculation the losses of the prestressing force due to friction the friction coefficient µ = 0.12 – 0.14 shall be considered. This value is for information only. The exact friction coefficient must be adapted to each project and also in case of restressing. At external tendons no wobble coefficient k (unintentional deviation) need to be taken into account. For the determination of strains and forces of prestressing steel friction losses ΔPµA in the active anchorage zone shall be taken into account as follows:

- For the tendon sizes from 6803 to 6805: ΔPµA = 1.0 % - For the tendon sizes from 6807 to 6837: ΔPµA = 0.5 %

6812 2.50 m 6837 4.00 m

The minimum values of radius of curvature given in Table 4 shall be respected, unless a national regulation is stricter. Smooth steel pipes can be bent to a constant radius in one plane. This should be taken into account at when specifying the tendon layout. Behind the anchor plate a straight length of the tendon (measured form the top of the anchor plate) according to Table 5 is required. Table 5: Required straight length of the tendon in the anchorage zone (measured

from the top of the anchor plate)

The minimum values of radius of curvature given in Table 6 shall be respected, unless a national regulation is stricter. B.2.2.5 Concrete strength At the time of transmission of the full prestressing force to the concrete member the mean concrete strength in the anchorage zone shall be at least fcmj, cube or fcmj, cyl according to Table 7. The mean concrete strength (fcmj, cube or fcmj, cyl) shall be verified by means of at least three specimens (cube with the edge length of 150 mm or cylinder with diameter of 150 mm and height of 300 mm), which shall be stored under the same conditions as the concrete member, with the individual values of specimens not differ more than 5 %.

B.2.2.6 Centre and edge distances of the tendon anchorages, concrete cover The centre and edge distances of the tendon anchorages shall be the values given in the Annexes 6-11 depending on the actual mean concrete strength. The values of the centre or edge distances of the anchorages given in the Annexes may be reduced in one direction up to 15 %, however, not to a smaller value than the external diameter of the helix plus 20 mm (see Annexes 6-11). The centre or edge distances of the anchorages in the other direction shall be increased for keeping the same concrete area in the anchorage zone. The dimensions of the additional reinforcement shall be fitted accordingly. All centre and edge distances have only been specified in conjunction with load transfer to the structure; therefore, the concrete cover given in national standards and provisions shall be taken into account additionally. The concrete cover may under no circumstance be less than 20 mm or smaller than the concrete cover of the reinforcement installed in the same cross section. The concrete cover of the anchorage should be at least 20 mm. Standards and regulations on concrete cover valid in place of use shall be considered. B.2.2.7 Reinforcement in the anchorage zone The anchorages (including reinforcement) for the transfer of the prestressing forces to the structural concrete were verified by means of tests. The resistance to the forces occurring in the structural concrete in the anchorage zone outside the helix and the additional reinforcement shall be verified. An adequate transverse reinforcement shall be provided here in particular for the occurring transverse tensile forces (not shown in the attached drawings). The steel grades and dimensions of the additional reinforcement (stirrups) shall follow the values given in the Annexes 6-11. From the given amount of additional reinforcement 50 kg reinforcement steel/m³ concrete may be taken into account as part of the statically required reinforcement. Existing reinforcement in a corresponding position more than the reinforcement required by design may be taken into account for the additional reinforcement. The additional reinforcement shall be of closed stirrups (stirrups closed by means of bends or hooks or an equivalent method) or of orthogonal reinforcement properly anchored. The stirrups locks (bends or hooks) shall be placed staggered. In the anchorage zone vertically led gaps shall be provided for proper concreting. If required for a specific project design, the reinforcement given in the Annexes can be modified in accordance with the respective regulations in force at the place of use as well as with relevant approval of the local authority and of the ETA holder to provide equivalent performance. If in exceptional cases 7 – due to an increased amount of reinforcement – the helix or the concrete cannot be properly placed, the helix can be replaced by different equivalent reinforcement. B.2.2.8 Slip at the anchorages The slip at the anchorages (see section B.4.2.4) shall be taken into account in the static calculation and the determination of the tendon elongation.

7 This requires the approval of the local authority for individual case according to the national regulations

and administrative provisions.

1 Manufacture

The setup of the DYWIDAG external strand post-tensioning tendon withdeviations can be manufactured in structure itself. At pushing of the strandsand during stressing the sheathing should be fixed against movement. In case of straight tendons partly prefabrication is possible. In this case thesheathing with the steel trumpet of one anchorage can be preassembled inshop or on site. If also the strands are preassembled then they must beprewedged and secured with a wedge keeper plate during transport. For theproper diameter of coil during transport must be considered.

2 Strands used The strands made of high-strength prestressing steel composing the tendonsare defined in the draft European Standard “prEN 10138-3: Prestressing steels– Part 3: Strand” or in national approvals. The primary characteristics are given in Annex 16.

3 Sheathing The sheathing is assembled from PE-tubes as characterized in Annex 2. Thesheathing produced must be mechanically resistant, continuous in shape,ensure continuity of the seal, and UV-resistant, if required in the project’sspecification. The fitting between the sheathing segments is produced by means of mirrorwelding or electro-welding couplers. The sheathing can be prefabricated to itscomplete length or manufactured in the structure. The sheathing is connected to the PE-insert (or its proper extension) of theanchorage by means of mirror welding or electro-welding coupler. To compensate differences between the planned and the actual length of atendon and to compensate unexpected or not avoidable sliding of thesheathing when stressing the tendon at least one telescopic tube should beassembled along the free length near to the stressing anchorage.

4 Inlets, bleed vents and outlets Grouting with cement grout presupposes the possibility of intervening alongthe tendon path in order to adjust the filling and bleed any air, water, etc. thatmay be within the sheathing. In this aim, accessories (electro-welding collarsor welded pipes) for reinjection, venting and bleeding are installed in properpositions on the sheathing. In case of wax injection proper accessories asinlets and for venting shall be applied at proper positions. In case of an injection or vent tube in the region of a deviator this requiredspace has to be considered when planning/dimensioning and manufacturingthe deviators, for example made of prebent steel tubes.

Page 42: European Technical Approval DYWIDAG Post … Technical Approval DYWIDAG Post-Tensioning System using Strands DYWIDAG External Strand Post-Tensioning System for 3 to 37 Strands (140

5 Anchorages

Anchorages depending on the tendon sizes are identical for both strand sizesand strand steel grades. The anchorage consists of

- anchor plate with a steel recess tube welded watertight on it, - steel trumpet, consisting of a steel flange, a steel tube and a steel

tension ring welded to its two opposite ends and a PE-insert fixed tothe tension ring with a retaining ring through a gasket and screws. Ifnecessary, a piece of PE-sheathing of proper length is mirror-weldedto the PE-insert in order to overhang the concrete member backsidethe anchorage and make a connection with the ordinary sheathingpossible,

- spacer within the steel trumpet which puts the strands in order andguarantees a proper fatigue strength and improves the wedge plateplacing,

- wedge plate, - wedges.

The anchor plate can be concrete-encased or placed onto the structurewhereas the continuous and uniform support of the anchor plate must beguaranteed. This type of anchorage can likewise be used as stressing and accessible fixed(passive) anchorage – and with a wedge keeper plate as not accessible. Thewedges of the embedded passive anchorage have to be sealed. Stressing anchorages can be restressed. In order to unload the tendon beforegrouting and to restress after grouting, shims divided into two halves shall bepositioned between flange and anchor plate. Altogether four sets of shims canbe applied at one anchorage. The cuts between the two half-shims shall bestaggered by turning 90°. The bursting forces caused by the prestressing force transfer to the concretemember shall be carried by a helix made of plain steel wire or reinforcementsteel. Additional reinforcement such as straight bars or stirrups is also required In any case the tendon layout in the back of the anchorage shall be straight atleast as long as mentioned in Table 5. If the steel trumpet with PE-insert andonwelded first part of PE-sheathing is installed before concreting of thestructure then even a part of the onwelded piece of PE-sheathing can becurved, whereas the required straight part according to Table 5 and theminimum admissible radius of curvature according to Table 6 shall be obeyed.The requirements of mirror-welding shall be considered. Important is that thecurved parts of the PE-sheathing must be completely and properly supportedby the concrete structure and the deviation tube in the anchorage zone inorder to minimize the bending action effects in the sheathing!

Page 43: European Technical Approval DYWIDAG Post … Technical Approval DYWIDAG Post-Tensioning System using Strands DYWIDAG External Strand Post-Tensioning System for 3 to 37 Strands (140

6 Wedges

The wedges are manufactured of alloyed steel for cementation then saw cutinto three parts and then treated. Three segments are attached by means of aretaining ring.

7 Deviators Normally, deviators are made of smooth steel tubes bent in the planned form.Other deviation saddle designs like a curved concrete surface are alsopossible as long as the limits of geometry according to Table 4 and Annex 14are obeyed.

8 Protective caps

In order to enable grouting/injection corrosion protective compound and forfinal protection of the anchorage a permanent metallic cap fixed onto theanchor plate shall be used. The length of the cap shall be determineddepending on, whether the tendon is restressable or not.

9 Stressing A hydraulic pump unit and a centre hole jack are used for stressing theprestressing steel. During stressing all pertinent safety rules andrecommendations must be fully known and obeyed. The force targets alongwith the corresponding values of elongation; moreover, tolerances must beknown. Furthermore, the order in which the post-tensioning tendons are to bestressed must be specified. The required/specified strength of concrete of boththe structure and anchorage zone undergoing stressing must be verified. The strands pass through the jack and are anchored in the tension disk withclamping jaws. All strands of a tendon are stressed simultaneously. Strands ofstraight tendons can be stressed one-by-one with monojacks. The prestressing force is checked with the aid of a pressure gauge.Furthermore, the elongation of the prestressing steel serves as control of theprestressing force. Long tendons for which the jack stroke is insufficient can bestressed in stages. Stressing in load steps and resetting of the jack is easily done. After stressing,the wedges are power seated by means of a seating device within the jack. Awedge slip according to Table 8 remains after wedge seating procedure.

10 Grouting with cement mortar After stressing cement grout can be injected – if specified by the designer –into the void between prestressing steel and sheathing thus serving ascorrosion protection of the strands. Before grouting it shall be controlled that the stressed tendon does not kink atthe ends of the deviations.

Page 44: European Technical Approval DYWIDAG Post … Technical Approval DYWIDAG Post-Tensioning System using Strands DYWIDAG External Strand Post-Tensioning System for 3 to 37 Strands (140

The grout is injected through the properly placed grout inlets (mostly at thedeepest points of the sheathing). The sheathing is vented at the ends of the tendon by means of venting pipesor grouting caps. Intermediate venting points at high points are necessary in case of longtendons. The DSI grouting equipment is composed of mixer and pump. For someapplications, vacuum pumps that allows for certain rate of depressurisationinside the sheathing, hence facilitating progression of the grouting (vacuumsupported grouting). Grouting shall be executed in accordance with EN 445, EN 446 and EN 447and national regulations, if applicable. The climatic conditions and temperatureof the structure must satisfy use conditions of the injection product. In case of restressable tendons the strands projecting ends in the cap shall becovered just after grout has been set the grout shall be removed between andon the projecting ends of the strands and singular tubes filled with corrosionprotecting compound shall be slid on. Before the surfaces of wedge plate andwedges shall be covered with corrosion protective tape. The ends of the tubesshall be tightened at the wedge plate with tape. The wedge plate shall becovered with tape. At the other end of the singular tubes these shall be closedwith small caps.
